QUICK MESSAGE!

-



Hi all!

 Thank you for checking us out! I believe in slow, steady growth and with the Robotech Novels, there is so much rich material in them...I am good with how we have started. I have a lot going on but I want to give a specific slot of my time to this.

 WOW....30 years!!!...I still remember buying the first four Novels the day after they were released back in February 1987.

 With the blog and the Facebook page, I'm testing our approach. We're going through the first Novel, Genesis right now with excerpts. I did an earlier blog post on the backstory on Zor which the books provide a lot of information on. 

 We're on Facebook, so give our page a big old LIKE! You can click HERE for it!

 I also did a short presentation video experiment on a prior post...something I've been thinking of developing as we move forward. Tell me what you think because I plan on doing more!

 For now, maybe the linear approach will work and especially for people who may not be familiar with the books. There's always the "jumping around the Novels for specific information" approach and that's always a possibility. I'm open to suggestions of how we can do things here. Comment on posts, message me through the page or email me at robotechnovels@gmail.com

 While this page is about the Roboetch Novels...it's also about the guys behind it; Brian Daley and James Luceno. Their history is just as rich as the books they wrote and it will be a pleasure to share it here. This project is sort of a pledge I made to the guys. (Though Jim has told me numerous times, I have MORE than fulfilled said pledge...lol!)

 What's ahead?
- Detailed look into selected excerpts.
- Character profiles.
- Locations
- EPIGRAPHS (my personal favorite)
- Other aspects of the Robotech Expanded Universe. (Comics, RPGS, etc)
- Whatever makes this fun!

 AND....a very special announcement...if everything goes right in about a couple of weeks from now.

 And as I said earlier....I'm open to ideas....can't promise that it can be done.....but I will give it my best shot!

 And if you know of someone that will enjoy this experience....bring them on board. No cover charge here!

 Much love and kick ass!

 - John

 (P.S. HI "DISNEY"!  )

NOT SEEN ON ROBOTECH TV: ROLF EMERSON

When Carl gave the mission for Brian and Jim to take the Robotech story to the realm of science fiction literature, I'd like to think that there were moments where they ran into secondary characters and said..."We gotta expand on him/her! Maybe not the whole backstory, but enough to make them an essential piece to the Robotech narrative. Case in point; "Major General Emerson, Chief of Staff, Ministry of Terrestrial Defense" ...Army of the Southern Cross. In the RNU...this was the result of BLACKMAIL! Excerpt; Leonard tilted his big head to regard Emerson. "And on your end?" "I want my own rank reinstated." "Only if you agree to serve the Army of the Southern Cross." Emerson nodded, as if having anticipated the counterdemand. "But in return I'll expect to be granted absolute authority over Space Station Liberty." "Granted, Major General Emerson." That particular story though.....is for anoth

DOES MACROSS ISLAND EXIST IN REAL LIFE?

A name that will ALWAYS be synonymous with Robotech. In the Novels it has 3 incarnations, and even afterwards, it is a focal point for Zor's Vision. Macross. As we begin the Novels saga, it is the island where Zor's ship crash lands after it is sent by the scientist himself to Earth in order to fulfill its destiny. But how much do we know about Macross Island's actual location?  Well, not much; The animated series narrates; "...Macross Island in the South Pacific." You may not know it now little island...but BIG things are in your future! In Robotech: The Graphic Novel, we get a little more. That map is at almost a 90 degree viewing angle! When we get to the Novels, we are given something a little more specific, albeit brief, but it gives "At last the object slowed, obviously damaged but still capable of maneuvering. Its astonishing speed lessened to a mere glide—except that it had little in the way of lifting surfaces and was unthi
